Art, in some form or another has been a part of me since I was a child. I can't remember a time when I wasn't creating. I was and still am fascinated by all things Art. ​I discovered the world of Tole Painting and Decorative Art in 1986 at a little shop in Burbank, Ca.  It was there that Art became more than just a hobby. It was and still is a constant companion through life's ordinary (and not so ordinary) days. ​Through the years I've been fortunate to take classes and learn from some of the best artists in our industry. I have been inspired through their knowledge and creativity to learn and grow as an artist myself and reach beyond what I ever thought possible. I love to create, paint and teach designs that I can share with all my painting friends; in the hopes to inspire artists old and new with their painting adventures.
